Tips 4 - Replacement

HVAC Tips

Welcome to our HVAC Tips page, where you'll find energy-saving advice, answers to common heating and cooling questions, maintenance tips, and guidance on installing or replacing your HVAC system. We’re here to help you save energy, extend system life, and make informed decisions about your comfort.

When replacing your heating and air conditioning system, consider your home's limitations, as certain systems may be costly or impact the appearance. For new construction, you have more options. In both cases, improving your home's energy efficiency first is the most cost-effective way to ensure comfort, regardless of the climate.

Advantages worth considering

Environmentally friendly: Our cooling systems use EPA-approved refrigerants that minimize environmental impact while maximizing energy efficiency.
Superior comfort: With proper installation, our systems deliver consistent temperatures and humidity control, ensuring both comfort and energy savings.
Better indoor air quality: Designed to ventilate stale air, eliminate airborne germs, capture particles, and regulate humidity, our systems help prevent mold and mildew growth for a healthier home.

Central air conditioning systems

A central air conditioning system cools, ventilates, heats (if using a heat pump or furnace), and controls humidity through ductwork. It can be a split system, with an indoor unit connected to an air handler or furnace, and an outdoor unit with a compressor and condenser coil. When properly matched, these components ensure efficient operation.

Home heating systems

A central heating system, or "forced air system," distributes warm air through ducts in your home. The air can be filtered and humidified for added comfort. Modern gas furnaces are highly efficient, converting up to 98% of fuel into usable heat.

Home ventilation systems and indoor air quality

Modern, energy-efficient buildings trap pollutants indoors, making indoor air quality worse than outdoor air, according to the EPA. Since most people spend 90% of their time inside, indoor pollution can pose greater health risks, causing dizziness, headaches, and worsening allergies or asthma. Air cleaners, ventilators, and central humidifiers or dehumidifiers can help improve air quality by bringing in fresh air without wasting energy.

Thermostats and programmable controls

Early thermostats simply turned heating and cooling systems on or off at a set temperature. Today’s smart thermostats go beyond that, allowing you to program them to match your schedule and communicate with your system to ensure optimal performance.
